byNational Institutes of Health Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers have discovered new insights about lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease, which affects about 1 in 200,000 Americans and commonly features the growth of abnormal cells in different tissues and organs, including the ...
Cancer is an umbrella term for diseases characterized by the uncontrollable growth of tumor cells. Often, these tumor cells invade and colonize adjoining organs, giving rise to what is clinically referred to as metastasis. Ad Once a lymph node is infiltrated bytumor cells, its environment becomes ...

and –D; and VEGFR-3 with VEGF-C and -D. The variety of interaction mechanisms may explain how advanced stage CRC cancer cells grow through all layers of the colon or rectum or spread to nearby tissues and distant organs with angiogenesis dependency. This notion is also supported by our fi...
Amyloid accumulation may also occur in the parenchymal organs of the periphery (e.g., heart and kidneys) and cause the progress of serious diseases. Existing treatments for NDDs are limited and mainly address symptoms rather than causes of the disease. Very recent studies have shown that these ...
